All batteries can be used for all types of ships, but some are more suitable than others depending on factors such as weight, volume and costs. These all need to be assessed to create a complete picture of the battery system design and to be able to compare different types of battery systems with each other.
Currently, Lithium-ion batteries are best suited for powering ships. However, there are many different types of Lithium-ion batteries, each of them optimized for a different type of application. In maritime battery systems we mainly use NMC, LFP and LTO. The smallest building block of a battery system is the battery cell.
In general, maritime battery systems can be categorized as high energy, medium energy and high power batteries, based on the energy density and the maximum continuous discharge C-rates they can endure. All batteries can be used for all types of ships, but some are more suitable than others depending on factors such as weight, volume and costs.
Depending on the usage of the batteries, the capacity will decrease over time, this is called aging. This results in only a certain part of the capacity that can be considered as usable. The total required installed capacity for your ship can be calculated by the battery manufacturer as they know their batteries best.
Electric and hybrid vessels with energy storage in large Lithium-ion batteries and optimized power control can contribute to reducing both fuel consumption and emissions. Battery solutions can also result in reduced maintenance and improved ship responsiveness, regularity, resiliency, operational performance and safety in critical situations.
Batteries can be used in a hybrid ship to avoid low load diesel conditions in port and thereby reduce emissions. The same batteries can then be used to reduce ramping and optimize loading between generator sets and increase system fuel efficiency, as well as reduce operating hours and maintenance.
